Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Beethoven Gala

Dirk Joeres conductor
Freddy Kempf piano

Programme:
*** SOLD OUT ***

Beethoven: Egmont Overture
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5, ‘Emperor’
Beethoven: Symphony No.7


This is Beethoven at his most stirring and inspirational. The Egmont Overture releases the tensions and struggle of conflict into a rampaging and ultimate victory. The ‘Emperor’ Piano Concerto, its nickname coined by a London critic overwhelmed by the work’s capacity for grand gestures and deep repose, features the charismatic piano star, Freddy Kempf. And, if this were not enough, there are also the profound melodies and propulsive rhythms of Symphony No.7, termed by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’ – music of unending energy to electrify the spirits.

Meet the artists, free pre-concert talk from 6.30pm presented by Edward Seckerson.
